Nope. All wires were otherwise accounted-for; two were 'cross-colored.'
The harness was brand new; I don't know of any that supply extra wiring
for separate turn signals, but I haven't looked (would be a good idea,
though).

<div>I and many others in the UK feel that with just two red
lights coming on is very confusing particularly as one enters
a corner and brakes. This confusing array is therefore
dangerous. In the UK amber turn lights have been mandatory for
many years. Younger drivers would not understand anything but
amber.</div>

<div>The mod we make for the back of the car is to add amber

needed is one wire being redirected to the new wire.</div>

I feel your pain. My dad got a new harness for our BN2
(probably from Moss). I thought the harness was good quality
overall, and everything worked except the turn signals. I
spent 3 days double-checking everything; we went so far as
to open the relay box, but everything looked good in there.
I eventually discovered the wiring to one of the rear
brake/turn lights was mis-colored. This really pissed me
off, as I'd wired a bare chassis just from the schematic and
it would have been 100% correct if not for the misidentified
wire. I'll probably never sell the car, but whoever ends up
with it will be confused, as a couple of wires are
interchanged from the schematic. Come to think of it, I
should probably label the flaw ... as soon as I finish all
the other stuff needs fixin'.<br>

Specifically, the fuse block and the voltage
regulator. Looking at a wiring diagram, the way you
see in the two pictures is mostly correct, but look at
what the arrows are pointing at. At the point in the
harness where the wires come out of the loom for the
fuse block, you can see on the right hand side the
arrow is pointing to a brown wire with a green
stripe. Good so far. Now look what the arrow is
pointing at on the other side of the fuse block. It's
a large solid brown wire. Now in the wiring diagram
this brown wire is supposed to be a continuation of
the brown with a green stripe wire. That brown wire
with the green strip that was supposed to be there
goes to the "A" connection of the voltage regulator.Â
Now look at the picture of the voltage regulator and
notice what the orange arrow is pointing at. It is the
other end of the plain, large brown wire! The
electrical connections are correct. The color coding
of the harness is not. I have just started wiring.Â
What else might I find in the rest of the harness?Â
This harness was a gift from my late friend Tom
Rocke. It was one of many free parts he supplied for
this rebuild. Don't know if I should complain about a
free harness.</div>
